“Our policy is that you stand for the anthem, toe on the line,” Jones said.

As he is the owner of the team, there is technically no one to force him to follow the policy that he himself laid out. Though if Jones is going to enforce that rule for his team out of respect for the anthem, it would only make sense that he hold himself to the same standard.
